My Tesla Shame: Do I Really Need an I'm Not With Him Bumper Sticker? 

Is Tesla ownership becoming a political statement? This article highlights a Tesla owner struggling with their car purchase due to Elon Musk's public persona and political stances. It raises an interesting question: how much do a company leader's actions influence our perception of their products? Are we implicitly endorsing those actions by continuing to use those products? This goes beyond Tesla, of course. Many companies have leaders with controversial viewpoints. Where do we draw the line? Is it about the nature of the viewpoint, the platform it's expressed on, or the perceived impact it has? What about the history of other car manufacturers and their less-than-savory pasts? Does that change the equation? Share your thoughts and experiences. Is this a growing trend, or an isolated incident? Will we see more public disavowal of brands based on leadership actions in the future?
